- Poisoned Sky
The New York Times–bestselling author brings back intelligence agent David Morton who must stop the deployment of a diabolical new weapon. After witnessing extensive air pollution in major US cities, a rogue Russian scientist knows there must be a way to exploit that weakness—and he’s come up with a bomb that does just that. But as the American president unveils a new initiative to radically change global environmental policies, he has his own deadly weapon at his side: intelligence operative David Morton . . . “Morton is smarter than Bond.” —Daily Mail
- Godless Icon
Secret agent David Morton—a James Bond for a new era—returns in this compelling thriller from the New York Times–bestselling author of Deadly Perfume. Suspicious of the West and fearful of the Muslim fanatics in the East, a troika plans to ensure that the Republic of Russia emerges as a military superpower. In California, the pastor of the Church of True Belief uses his satellite to spread global hatred. But the threat of a powerful Chinese businessman is the most sinister of all . . . At the same time in Rome, a dying pope vows to unite all the faiths and bring to the world a peace and stability it has never known. He turns to South Africa’s first black cardinal—entrusting him with a crucial, secret mission. Using a mosaic of shard-like details, each meticulously exact, this extraordinary novel explores the dark, turbulent forces that intelligence agent David Morton must overcome if he is to destroy the cynical alliance around him. Already compared to Ian Fleming and John le Carré, in Godless Icon, Gordon Thomas confirms his reputation as a novelist of stature.
- Organ Hunters
Intelligence agent David Morton must foil an illegal organ trafficking ring in this thrilling novel by the New York Times–bestselling author. On a remote island in Central America, transplants are being performed for the elite of the crime world—with organs harvested from those killed by a sinister organization. Following the trail of mutilated bodies across the globe, intelligence agent David Morton must discover who is the mastermind behind the carnage. His own gut reaction convinces him that none of the usual players—The Chinese Triads, Japan’s organized crime syndicate, the Russian criminal fraternity, the Mafia—are responsible. There’s a powerful new player on the block . . .
- Deadly Perfume
In this breakneck thriller, the New York Times–bestselling author introduces Mossad agent David Morton—a man as dangerous as the terrorists he hunts. In the aftermath of the 1990-1991 Gulf War, a megalomaniac terrorist holds the world hostage, threatening to poison every major city with a deadly virus. He has the means—a form of anthrax capable of wiping out millions in minutes—and demonstrates its potency by adding a small vial of it to the drinking water in a small South African town, killing all of the inhabitants. With only seven days to meet his demands, the world’s leaders call on David Morton, a brilliant and ruthless Mossad agent. The result is a tense global chase, leading from China to Athens, London, Libya, South Africa, Tel Aviv, and New York, drawing good and evil closer and closer in a battle to the death. Deadly Perfume penetrates the real world of intelligence-gathering to reveal its secret subculture, with its hidden loyalties and agendas. Gordon Thomas has imagined a world so terrifyingly real that it poses the question, Is it imagined at all? “[A] horribly convincing thriller . . . Intelligence agent David Morton deals with the psychodynamics of terrorism, with modern technology at his fingertips and the ears of Western politicians at his command. I was left hoping that we have some real Mortons at our disposal.” —Daily Mail
